IN LOVING MEMORY OF A VERY SPECIAL HUSBAND
OTIS WHITE, SR.
‘OATMEAL’ 6-27-1946 — 4-17-2018
When God was making husbands as far as I can see, He made a special soulmate especially for me. He made a perfect gentleman, compas- sionate and kind, with more love and affection than you could ever wish to find.
He gave my darling hus- band, a heart of solid gold. He gave me wonderful memories only my heart can hold. He was someone I could talk to that no one can replace. He was someone I could laugh with ‘till tears ran down my face.
Next time we meet will be at Heaven’s door. When I see you standing there, I won’t cry anymore. I will put my arms around you and kiss your smiling face, then the pieces of my broken heart will fall back into place.
Your loving wife, Leah
